Special Operations Advisor - Patriot Group International

Program Manager, Mr. Nelsen

Start Date: 2007-10-01End Date: 2012-06-01

FBI) Headquarters: 10/2007-06/2012 As the Program Manager, Mr. Nelsen led the multi-year project, with 15 professionals, supporting DI Executive Staff, Geospatial Intelligence, Performance Analysis, Intelligence Training, Confidential HUMINT Source Validation, and Human Language Technology. As a Senior Intelligence Advisor in the Directorate of Intelligence (DI) providing intelligence support and optimizing HUMINT/CI/CT contributions to the Counterterrorism (CTD), Cyber (CyD), Criminal (CID), Counterintelligence (CD), Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and FBI Field Office Divisions, Mr. Nelsen served as the principal Russia, China, and Middle East HUMINT/CI expert within the Source Development Unit (SDU) and the Senior Intelligence Advisor for the Information Technology Coordination Unit (ITCU). In support of the SDU, Mr. Nelsen was chiefly responsible for developing new sourcing methodologies for the SDU that became pervasive across the unit. He coordinated his products with CTD, CyD, CID, CD, WMD, Washington Field Office, and several Field Offices in order to fill intelligence gaps and operational mission support, ultimately, provide maximum impact with his products. Because of a well-versed operational background, Mr. Nelsen was originally hand-picked to support the HUMINT Validation Unit; however, he was successively identified to support the planning and stand-up of the SDU. He assisted in the execution of the overarching functions and work-flow of the SDU by authoring policies, and mission statement. Mr. Nelsen provided operational experience, mentoring, and classified HUMINT sourcing functional expertise to support policy, strategy development, and risk analysis to create the SDU. The SDU became the principle body within the Bureau for identifying and developing confidential HUMINT sources for CI and CT efforts, as well as monitoring the FBI's Intelligence Program against National Security threats. He coordinated his SDU products with CTD, CyD, CID, CD, and WMD fill intelligence gaps and, ultimately, provided maximum operational input to several Field Offices to include the Washington Field Office. In support of the SDU, working with the Terrorist Screening Center, Mr. Nelsen was chiefly responsible for developing new classified HUMINT sourcing methodologies for the SDU that became pervasive across the unit. TRIPWIRE: As the FBI DI Intelligence SME, Mr. Nelsen's knowledge of the various applicable Enterprise Architectures, Intelligence Community methods, and database schemas allowed him to successfully liaise with stakeholders to conceptualize and implement a highly successful analytical support system. The goal of this project was to provide a decision support system that interfaces with Google Earth and ArcGIS to enable real-time, situational awareness and collaborative analysis through the persistent querying of streaming and stored data. This analytic and decision support system, Tripwire Analytic Capability (TAC) was brought on-board to FBIHQ in the summer 2009, and continues to be fielded in FBIHQ, and its 56 Field Offices. Mr. Nelsen co-authored several confidential HUMINT source methodologies to include a White Paper," Closed and Open Source Intelligence Collection and Analysis", and "Social Networking Analysis," that enabled the intelligence analyst to have a deeper understanding of other information sources, analytical methods, techniques and models to understand and predict human patterns, relationship types and dynamics through technology and human information sharing. His knowledge of IC methods and database schemas allowed him to conceptualize, design, and implement an analytical toolkit beginning with TAC and I2 for the novice analyst and incrementally adding technologies dependent on the experience base to include ArcGIS, Palantier, Tableau, Splunk; and, others for query, link, visualization, and predictive analysis.
